Humor Dissonance: Stu's Monkeybone cartoon is in-universe praised as a stroke of comedic genius that is sure to become a merchandising giant, but to most viewers it just comes across as like a really low-effort Gross-Out Show and the shtick of the Monkeybone character himself appears to be that he constantly displays annoyingly hyperactive and sleazy behavior and engages in not particularity funny impersonations.

What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: Stu nearly dies, leaving his body open to use to another soul — a chance pounced upon by his eponymous creation (which, in his head, is the embodiment of his libido). While Monkeybone wreaks surreal havoc in this world, his creator has to barter with Dream and Death in the hereafter.
